Fraud claims swirl in drug probe travel vouchers
A federal grand jury will probe possible fraud in travel expense vouchers submitted by members of the South Florida task force on narcotics. Drug Enforcement Administration officials say some Customs Service and DEA employees may have claimed reimbursements not incurred, with two clerks resigning after admitting $1300 in false expenses. The probe involves temporary assignments, audits, and potential multi-agency involvement, overseen by the Justice Department and GAO.
